Kylian Mbappé will once again be at the heart of discussions and negotiations this Tuesday, between Emmanuel Macron and the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez.

The end is getting ever closer for Kylian Mbappé at Paris Saint-Germain. Not aligned against Metz (0-2), during his team’s victory on Sunday, as part of the thirty-fourth and final day of the championship, the striker organized a farewell party Monday evening, in a restaurant Italian from the capital. The day after this little party, President Emmanuel Macron in turn organized a gala dinner, with a very specific goal in mind.

It is in the Élysée Palace that the French leader will receive Tuesday evening, on the occasion of the hundred and twenty years of Fifa. And since Real Madrid is one of the founding members of the governing body of world football, Florentino Perez will be present for this dinner, according to an indiscretion of RMC. A presence that Emmanuel Macron intends to take advantage of. The President of the Republic still hopes that Kylian Mbappé will be able to participate in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games (July 26 – August 11), and to do this he will work on Florentino Perez on the body.

Macron wants to believe it

We will do everything (to have a competitive team). (…) I have not yet spoken about it with (Kylian Mbappé), but above all I hope that his club will let him », Declared Emmanuel Macron on April 15. A month later, the situation has not really evolved in the right direction and Real Madrid even confirmed to the French Football Federation (FFF) that it did not intend to release its French players for the Olympic competition.

It remains to be seen whether this time the French president will find the words likely to make Florentino Perez think, and why not change his mind. Thierry Henry and the French Hopes would be delighted if Real were to review their position. Even if the chances of witnessing such a turnaround remain very slim to date.
